1. Boil the potatoes and grate / mash it well without any lumps
   
2. Heat 1 tsp of oil in a pan, add finely chopped small onions and saute for 1 min

7. Add 1 tbsp of corn flour to it and knead well to form a stiff dough. If required we can add another 1/2 tbsp of corn powder
   
8. Make equal sized balls out of the kneaded dough; flatten one ball into a circular patty
9. If using cheese slice, we can cut them into thin strips and roll it as below and place in the center of the patty; when using cubes, we can grate it and place the same
   
10. After placing the cheese at the center, bring the sides inwards and form a ball
11. Flatten it gently into circular cutlet shapes; repeat the same for the remaining dough
